Pace a scorcher, headed by Watchguard, Sea Of Qi and Echo Sunshine, closely followed by Manic Light and Typhoon Neta. MANIC LIGHT (9) created a big impression at start eight when a gutsy maiden victory over 1106m here on April 14. Strips even fitter now and can make it two-in-a-row with the drop in weight. WATCHGUARD (5) kept fresh for this after tiring sharply when eighth over 1175m at this track on March 7. Since fitted with a recent trial placing over the 946m here on April 14. A repeat of debut victory four back can see him return to form. PICUPSTIXX (2) was beaten for early speed on debut when drifted back before finishing over the top of them late to score a comfortable win over 1025m at this track four weeks ago. Sure to be strong again from the sticky draw. ECHO SUNSHINE (10) tough return when travelled on the pace for a narrow second over 1000m at Casino on April 13. Goes well second-up and the drop in weight suits. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 9,5,2,10.
